Answer 5

For showing dressage you will look better out there in tall boots.  If you are far away from showing, go ahead!  Buy half chaps.  I love them, although i outgrew them.  You can sell them used if you outgrow them or buy tall boots.  I'd say that when you are ready to show, buy the tall boots.  but yes, half chaps are great.

Answer 6

try taller boots tucked inside your pants, maybe. or outside, just for practicing.  

Answer 7

yes get half chaps they will make your life so much easier. You don't have to wear tall boots but don't get the leather ones just get synthetic ones.

Answer 8

I have some half chaps so that I at least have the option to ride in short boots on any particular day. Since you are getting by fine without them, I wouldn't spend very much on them. I think I got mine for about $15 and they work fine. Some people like them a lot for each of use.
